Mr Kinsa's pickled courgettes!

Kinsa and Mr Kinsa came to dinner Friday night (and left in the early hours Sat morning!). Mr Kinsa brought me a jar of his homemade pickled courgettes.
They are the yummiest thing I have tasted for a long time and a great thing to do with courgettes.
I hope Kinsa reads this and posts the recipe. If not I will PM her and ask her to.
Seriously scrummy!

Here is the now famous pickled courgettes recipe!
It's from the August Good Food Magazine and is good with cold poached salmon, burgers - or in a sandwich on its own. I think BdJ ate it straight from the jar!!
My resident chef made it for a little reunion I had recently and fights nearly broke out when the jar was empty. We'd already hidden the second jar to take to Belle's. Oh bum I have just remembered I can't do paragraphs any more, so will email the recipe to Belle to post. Enjoy!!

1. Thinly
slice courgettes. Put in a bowl with shallots and sprinkle the salt
over. Cover with ice-cold water and stir to dissolve the salt. Leave
for one hour. Then drain courgettes thoroughly and pat dry - important.

2.
Meanwhile put pickling ingredients into pan and bring to a simmer.
Bubble for 3 mins making sure sugar has dissolved. Leave to cool until
warm not hot. Add courgettes and stir.

3. Scoop mixture into 2 x 500ml sterilised jars. Seal and leave in fridge for a few
days.

Apparently will keep for a couple of months - but not when my friends are involved!!! Especially Belle!

Ah goody!
I was having visions of me trying to explain what non-idiosed salt is in my local supermarket
I might try with P&ouml;kelsalz though, to see if it does make a difference (well, when I buy some P&ouml;kelsalz - I can't wait that long to try the recipe first though, lol).
